Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given:
You will wait __________ I return
A. Still
B. Or
C. Till
D. But

Answer 1

Hint:Please try to understand what the speaker wants to say, do they want the action to be performed in the future or are they talking about an action that has been happening from the past till now. Also make sure that you have a clear idea of what all the terms mean.

Complete answer:
It is very essential to understand what the word ‘still’ and ‘till’ means because it may cause confusion. ‘Still’ refers to an action which has been performed from the past till today/ the time we are mentioning, whereas, ‘till’ talks about something that would start in the present or in the near future and would end in future. To make it more clear, we have a few examples:
I still have 5 more papers to write
You have to be here till the evening, would that be fine with you?
He is still working hard for promotion
“Mom, I will be at my friend’s place till 7 o’ clock”
These examples must have given you a clear picture about the two terms. On the basis of our discussion, we can say that Option C should be the right answer, because here the speaker is asking to wait until he returns, therefore, they are talking about the future. Hence Option C.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note::As mentioned above, know the difference between ‘still’ and ‘till’.
‘Still’ refers to an action which has been performed from the past till today/ the time we are mentioning, whereas, ‘till’ talks about something that would start in the present or in the near future and would end in future.
The other options are irrelevant to the context, therefore ignore them.
